For the last couple of days, Margaret and I have been participating in the NetVUE pre-meeting. She gave a short paper on assisted dying in the light of the vocation to peacemaking, and I gave a response to John Dear’s The Gospel of Peace in the light of a pædagogy of peacemaking. These both went well, we had good conversations with our friends among the attendees, and we had some monstrously large US meals.
Each morning I’ve run my two miles on a treadmill in the hotel gym; it’s a very different experience from running in the wild, especially when the gym gets crowded. I’m a little self-conscious when there are others around. Still, I’m getting the running done, and that’s especially valuable since my caloric intake has ticked upward.
